Hi,
At http://www.pragma-ade.com:8069 you can find a preview of the new pragma web site. It works ok with firefox, kind of ok with opera, ok at the cost of some mess with internet explorer, not optimal with safari but ...
... the nice thing is that i now generate the whole lot from a small set of xml documents using xslt, so that i can more easily maintain the site + links; the next/previous buttons work as in pdf docs -)
if you click the 'exa' link, you will get a few interfaces
currently it runs on our old web server [some 500 mhz celeron machine]; in a couple of week it will run on one of our new web servers (2.2 gig 64 bit opterons)
i cross my fingers that the webrick based http server (ruby) can handle things (i'll run the webpages on apache as well)

Pretty nice; a great improvement in terms of navigation. Two comments, though: 1. What about just using relative font sizes? 2. The site relies rather heavily on color for subdividing the page. FireFox and other browsers have an option to enforce the user's choice of colors. The page design doesn't hold up too well with that option enabled. -- Siep Kroonenberg
